This item appears to be a reproduction of a Saudi Arabian Royal Presentation Sword presented as a gift to diplomatic dignitaries and personalities for their functions and achievements by the King of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The most prominent one was presented in 1980's to Darrell Royal and his wife Dr. Nasser Al-Rashid, University of Texas Ph.D. graduate, founder of Rashid Engineering and advisor to the Saudi Arabia Royal Family that carries a conservative estimate of $25,000-$35,000. The sword was stored in a museum vault at the University of Texas at Austin Campus for 27 years and has never been publicly displayed.
